hi,
bet wetting is common till 7 yrs. some reason may be due to nightmare at sleep or he may feel insecure.
suggestion: assure your child.
make him to have dinner earlier, have a water. before going to bed send him for toilet. before sleeping(half hour before sleep) don't give any liquid or health drink.
set an alarm at midnight, wake him up send him to toilet. follow this for a week.
even the complaint persist consult your doctor and psychologist
thank you.
